1. Mayan Calendar; the Great Cycle started in 3114 BC and ends in
December 2012.

The Tzolkin, or Mayan Sacred Calendar

The
Tzolkin is a 260-day calendar based around the period of human gestation. It
is composed of 20 day-signs, each of which has 13 variations, and was (and
still is) used to determine character traits and time harmonics, in a similar
way to Western astrology. The Maya also used a 365-day calendar called the Haab, and a Venus
calendar, plus others. They measured long time periods by
means of a Long Count, in which one 360-day year (a "Tun"),
consists of 18 x 20-day "months" ("Uinals"). Twenty of
these Tuns is a Katun; 20 Katuns is a Baktun (nearly 400 years); and 13
Baktuns adds up to a "Great Cycle" of 1,872,000 days, ( 5200 Tuns,
or about 5125 years).

Mayan
scholars have been attempting to correlate the Long Count with our Western
Gregorian calendar, since the beginning of this century. There has been
massive variation in the suggested
correlations, but as early as 1905, Goodman
suggested a correlation only 3 days from the most popular one today. Known as
the GMT
correlation, or "correlation # 584283", this was finalized
in 1950, and puts the start of the Great Cycle ( day
0.0.0.0.0) on 11th August 3114 BC, and the end-date (known as
13.0.0.0.0.) as 21st December
2012.

Jose
Arguelles has pointed out that the Tzolkin is a harmonic of the Great
Cycle, and can be used to map history, as if it is measuring not individual
gestation but species gestation, since 5 Great Cycles add to exactly 26,000
Tuns; the "Grand Year" or precession of the equinoxes - a higher
harmonic of 260. (For
an explanation of why this diagram says 3113 BC see ADDENDUM).

4.
Crustal Displacement;
Graham Hancock has suggested in his book Fingerprints of the
Gods, that an unusual planetary alignment at the end of
the Great Cycle will cause a gravitational effect on the crust of the Earth,
which is top-heavy with polar ice. The crust will slip, wiping out most of the
life on Earth as a result of colossal tidal waves. However, this planetary
alignment is due on 24 December 2011, which is the date given by Frank Waters
in Mexico Mystique as the end of the Great Cycle. Since the end-point
has now been confirmed as 21 December 2012, if we are due for crustal
displacement, this alignment will probably NOT be the trigger (see addendum).

5. Solstice - Galactic Centre
Conjunction; John
Major Jenkins has finally decoded the meaning behind the Mayan Great Cycle. In
his book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012, he shows that the Great Cycle is a fifth and
final cycle in the 26,000-yearPrecession
of the Equinoxes, except that the Mayans measured it from the Winter Solstice
instead of the Spring Equinox. On 21/12/2012, the Solstice
sun will align with
the Dark Rift in the Milky Way, which the Maya called the Mouth of the
Crocodile, (or jaguar-toad); the Crocodile Tree being the Milky Way itself.

Milky Way
as Cosmic Tree compared with caiman-tree.
The movement of of the Milky Way towards
the December solstice sun between 6000BC and 2012

This is the widest part of the Milky Way, and corresponds to the
direction of the centre of the galaxy. As the alignment occurs, the Earth will
align with the plane of the galaxy and pass onto the other side,**
causing a “
field – effect energy reversal”, allowing us to resonate with the source
of the field. This will be the completion of the human spiritual embryogenesis
which is measured by the Mayan Long Count
calendar, culminating in a “pole
shift” in the collective psyche, and
the birth of our Higher Selves. This last day of the Great Cycle, the Maya
called Creation Day. **The
alignment is discussed, (including the idea that the solar system is
"north" of the galactic plane) at Time

(see esp. posts 1147

True Alignment Zone " also clairfies the alignment issue.

6.Mayan Tribal Prophecy;
Hunbatz Men, a modern Mayan Daykeeper, says we should visit sacred sites to
correct the outcome of a flaw in human DNA. This will strengthen our energy
bodies for the coming
transition at the end of the Great Cycle.

8.
Inca Prophecy;
Wi1laru Huayta, a Peruvian "spiritual messenger" says that 2013 is
the end of the Inca calendar(see
addendum), and in that year- a "huge asteroid" 3 times larger than
Jupiter will pass close to earth, causing cataclysms that will kill off most
of humankind.

10.
The Bible Code; Michael
Drosnin's book, The Bible Code, tells the story of a code apparently discovered in the torah, which has now been
verified by
mathematicians and code-breakers, predicts all major news items from the
holocaust to Hiroshima. More recent events have been decoded before they
happened, including the collision of the Shoemaker-Levy comet with Jupiter.
The date of the collision was found to be encoded months before it happened.
As for the future, the last encoded date is 2126 -seventh month - when comet
Swift-Tuttle is predicted to return to the solar system, just as astronomers
have already predicted. However, in 2012, a comet is predicted which will
crumble into pieces and/or ‘annihilate’ the earth.

The
Bible code continues to be challenged;
some think the codes are imaginary; some think they are real, but cannot
predict the future; some just object for religious reasons; for a selection of

11.
Photon Belt;
in 1961, according to several by new age sources, Paul Otto Hesse discovered a
"photon belt" circling the central sun of
the Pleiades, and, we are told, our solar system passes through it every 12,500 years, and will
next be fully immersed in it in "2011-2012"

.

UPDATE:
However, it now transpires that the original article was probably a hoax, and
that there are at least 3 major errors involved in the story:

1) No photon belt or other such region of increased
energy has been discovered. Photons in any case are merely particles of
electromagnetic energy, which we commonly experience as light. Upon exposure
to excess photons the most common transformation of your being is sunburn.

(2) There's no "anomaly" near the Pleiades
star cluster. The Pleiades are surrounded by a nebula, or gas cloud. This
cloud is composed not of photons but of dust and hydrogen gas.

(3) The earth isn't heading toward the Pleiades but
away from them. In the 1850s it was conjectured that the earth orbited the
Pleiades, but this has long since been discredited.

(4) Paul Otto Hesse is a German author of a book on
Judgement Day and is unknown to astronomers.

See
this sitefor
more information on the truth behind the photon belt myth. See also HERE,
for more detail on the origin of the story, and an archived article by astro-physicist
Dr. Paul LaViolette, Galactic
Center Disinformation,
which suggests that although it is wrong in many ways, the photon belt myth
can be seen as an analogy for a galactic superwave (see item
48). It is also an analogy for precession, (diagram at item
31) but the 25,000-26,000 - year movement is the movement of the equinoxes
and solstices around the zodiac, not the solar system around the Pleiades. HOWEVER,
it just so happens that the Maya used the Pleiades to measure precession, and
our proximity to the 2012 end-point
(see item 34).

Other
scientists such as Alexey Dmitriev have also developed theories that relate to
this issue. Dmitriev has analysed solar system changes and concluded that the
solar system is entering an "area of magnetised plasma" see HERE
for more.

12.Channels;
Peter O. Erbe, chanelling the great white brotherhood, says we will enter the
photon belt in 2011, which will trigger an ascension to "fourth-level
density". The greys are in league with governments trying to abort the
process. St. Germain(via Azena), says we will enter the belt in December 2012,
attaining a "parallel universe". The Sirians (via Sheldon
Nidle) say
we should have entered the belt in 1996.In 2012/13 our whole solar system will travel down a wormhole in the
direction of the Sirius system.The photon belt will alter DNA and chakras allowing us to use our inter-dimensional
soul body for existence in a timeless higher dimension.

UPDATE:
See item 11 above - the Photon belt story is seriously faulted!

13.
Clow;
Barbara
Hand Clow’s version (in her book, The
Pleiadian Agenda), unifies all the others. In 1987, the galactic
synchronization beam reacted with the photon band as we entered it. At Winter
Solstice 2012, Earth’sentire
orbital path will be engulfed in the band; this will be the ascension. We must
prepare by meditating at sacred sites, to modify our DNA and emotional bodies.
In 2013 “the 3rd dimension will dissipate on Earth”.

(C

ontactee Alex Collier
agrees about the latter, but calls it a "third density implosion"and
says it will occur on December 3 2013.)
Nibiru
(see item 27, item
35) and Sirius (see item 40) are also involved

UPDATE:
See item 11 above - the Photon belt story is seriously faulted!
